I don't know if there is a big enough profit margin. Most manufactures want about a 50 percent margin of profit. The G4's I've seen for sale go for about 200 - 250. So if you spend more than 125 on parts and labor, your losing money. While I love the idea of people refurbing these machines, as I think Macs are great machines, I just don't think you are going to get rich fixing them. But then again, I can be wrong.
